You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 237

Bai Rong’s heart trembled in her chest.

So does that mean he’d still choose me even if Zhou Hailan came looking for him with their child?

But it makes no difference now since I’m the one who’s giving up this time.

Even if we’re not together anymore, he’ll still be the man I love most; the man I’ll love forever.

“Gu Mingchen, why do you even like me? Didn’t you say that I’m not your type?” Bai Rong queried with a smile.

“You kept pushing me away before, so I said that on purpose. To be honest, you fit my preferences perfectly,” Gu Mingchen replied in a deep voice. As he wasn’t good at sweet-talking, his cheeks were slightly flushed with embarrassment.

“Well, I’m a rather mean person, and I don’t like sugar-coating my words or flattering people either.” Bai Rong humbled herself.

“People who sugar-coat words often have ulterior motives. Even if that’s not it, using flattery on everyone is just desperate. I always keep my guard up against those kinds of people. I think what you said makes sense. Plus, I’ve seen some really mean people, and you’re not it,” Gu Mingchen explained.

Bai Rong giggled. “I also have a bad temper.”

“The only even-tempered people are those who work in customer service. I have a bad temper too. Naturally, I don’t expect others to be any better.”

“I don’t have a nice figure either.”

Gu Mingchen took a sip of his drink. “That’s right… you’re too skinny.”

Bai Rong was speechless.

Isn’t he being a little too candid?

But I like his candor because it shows that I can believe whatever he says. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

“Then, I’ll make sure to eat more. Otherwise, you might get bored of me soon,” Bai Rong joked.

“Those aren’t the things I look for in a woman. Physical appearances can change, no matter if you’re thin, fat, ugly, or pretty. What I value is chemistry, and I think the two of us have that,” Gu Mingchen said, gazing at her with bright eyes.

His words were practically music to her ears.

Suddenly, a wave of sadness washed over her.

If only Gu Mingchen found our child first.

I wouldn’t be torn between two choices, and he’d undoubtedly love our child. We’d be such a happy family.

In the worst-case scenario, I’d accept Zhou Hailan’s child. After all, Gu Mingchen didn’t betray her. He just really didn’t know about it.

Bai Rong was filled with so much bitter depression, but she couldn’t voice it out. Hence, she decided to drink away her sorrows, downing her drink.

“Hey, take it slow. Drinking like that isn’t good for your body, and you’ll get drunk easily too.” Gu Mingchen expressed his concern.

“I just feel so lucky that the person I love is also my soulmate. Gu Mingchen, you’re an extraordinary man, and I’m grateful that you can find it in you to love someone so flawed like me.” Bai Rong filled her glass to the brim again and raised it toward him.

Gu Mingchen clinked glasses with her. “When I couldn’t find you, I tried so hard to retrieve my lost memories. When I finally found you, I realized that I have no regrets even though those memories are gone. After all, what’s important is that you’re by my side.”

Bai Rong’s chest tightened even more.

If I die in the next three months, Gu Mingchen will hurt as much as he loves me.

And after he finds out the truth, that love will probably turn into hate, right?

Bai Rong wanted to chug down her drink again, but Gu Mingchen snatched the glass from her hand. “We still have our lifetime to drink together, so don’t drink like that. Take slow sips, hmm?”

She smiled at his doting gesture.

Previously, she had read a story. It was about a married woman who felt like she was living in purgatory because of her reserved husband. Hence, she went outside looking for passion and met a young and handsome man. At the same time, she reunited with her first love at a gathering, who had now become a big boss with a successful career.

These three men said that they loved her.

At that, she invited both her first love and the young man to her house for a meal.

It was a moment of truth because she wanted to divorce and make her final decision.

Halfway through the meal, she was scalded by hot water, and blisters formed on her hand.

The young man was in a daze, while her first love simply asked if she was alright.

On the other hand, her husband immediately went to the refrigerator to get ice cubes, wrapping them in a towel before holding them against her hand to relieve the pain.

In an instant, she understood which man loved her the most.

Since then, she returned to being a dutiful wife, becoming more patient, tolerant, and understanding toward her husband.

Gu Mingchen was just like that man. He was reserved, cold, rigid, and unexpressive. However, his every action showed his love and care.

“Gu Mingchen, I waited three years for you. Would it be too much if I asked you to do the same for me?” asked Bai Rong.

Gu Mingchen’s eyes narrowed a fraction as he looked at her in puzzlement, “What’s that’s supposed to mean? Wait three years for you? What are you planning to do?”

Bai Rong folded her elbows on the table. “I was just asking.”

“No way. I go wherever you go. You’re my legal wife, and we’re having the wedding after we return from Jadeborough three months later, so don’t have any stupid ideas.” Gu Mingchen sounded upset and polished off his drink.

Hearing that, Bai Rong started to worry. What if I die?

Is he going to follow me to his death as well?

The waiter served the barbeque meat they ordered.

Gu Mingchen blew on a chicken wing to cool it down before handing it to her. “Be careful. It’s hot.”

Bai Rong took a bite in a daze. “You should eat too.”

Her phone rang just then. Seeing that it was Su Xuyan, irritation flared within her, and she declined the call.

Hence, Gu Mingchen took the phone from her. Seeing Su Xuyan’s name on the screen, he immediately blocked his number.

“I don’t think there’s any reason the two of you should remain in contact,” he said domineeringly.

Upon that, warmth surged in Bai Rong’s chest, and she agreed, “You’re right.”

“Eat up. I’ll send you home after we’re done. It’s getting late already.”

Bai Rong then kept her phone in her bag and looked outside with a frown.

Su Xuyan can’t be spying on me, right?

“What are you looking at?” Gu Mingchen asked suspiciously.

“I feel like having the eggplant dish. It looks really good.” Bai Rong made up an excuse.

“Alright then. I’ll order it for you.” Gu Mingchen stood up and went to place the order.

After he left, Bai Rong took out her phone and sent a message to Su Xuyan: Gu Mingchen is here. We’re having supper outside now, so I’ll contact you tomorrow.

A few moments later, she deleted the message, with her heart pounding against her chest.

A sense of guilt rose in her as she felt like she had done something bad. However, she was more worried that Gu Mingchen’s actions would irk Su Xuyan.

After eating, they stepped out of the restaurant only to come face to face with Su Xuyan.

He was leaning against his car with a wicked smile playing on his lips. His gaze was sullen as he stared meaningfully at Bai Rong. “Rong, you left my place in such a haste last time. Did you forget something?”

Bai Rong’s heart skipped a beat. Her brows furrowed as she eyed Su Xuyan with doubt.

What is he up to now?

Gu Mingchen glanced at Bai Rong in surprise. There was a trace of displeasure in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and asked in a grave tone, “When were you at his place?”
